Those are tough old tractors. I have a '58 Cub Lo-Boy that I'm outfitting
to work my garden. You're right, very fun to play with the oldies.

Brian,
1952 WD-9. Thanks for the link. I have a good neighbor that could probably
repair the space shuttle if he had to. He's going to give me a hand. Have a
"newer JD" to use in the mean time, it's just not as much fun as the oldie!

Pumpkinguy,
Grew them 2 years ago! Didn't have the size you did because of very dry
weather. They are great! I am just the kind of guy that always has to try
somethind new.....even if I should know better. Grew Conneticuts this year
with some Big Max and Big Moon. Am going to take your advise for my fund
raiser. If I can find a website with advise on a 1952 International Tractor
repair, I can disc up 2 more acres this fall. Wher are you from Wayne?

Steve,
Why not grow Prizewinner variety. They have great color and are easier
for the customers to lift when they get them home. We used to grow 1,000 to
1,500 of them on five irrigated acres and sold every one. They average about
140 pounds and go as high as 200. We wholesaled most of them. We even had a
guy that would come in after the main picking and take the small ones.

"Pink" or peach color is common. I have never had an AG turn bright orange
like a field pumpkin. Around here, people pay us big$ for "off" colored
pumpkins. I grow a couple of acres of field pumpkins and let local school
kids have field trips and such in October. Next year, my wife and I want to
set up a pumpkin auction for money to go to St. Judes Children's Hospital.
I will share photos and results with this site.
P.S. Anyone out there interested in some seed swapping? I have been busting
a hump getting a new patch ready for Ags next year.
